Those geocachers who successfully complete this series and fulfill all of the requirements will receive the honor of becoming a member of the Geocacher Special Forces.

I will post their names and the date that they completed the series on the Navy SEAL cache page.

For those who successfully retrieve the Navy SEAL cache and sign the log, if you want to be eligible for the Geocacher Special Forces, I will also require a photo of you holding the Navy SEAL cache in your hand.

Only those individual geocachers who personally retrieve AND log all the caches in this series are eligible for the Geocacher Special Forces patch. Of course, if you are in a group who finds the cache you can still log it.

Every geocacher who successfully completes this military series, personally retrieves and logs all of the caches, and fulfills all of the requirements will receive a Geocacher Special Forces patch.

Once you have completed the requirements, please notify me by sending me an email: Hitman4@new.rr.com

Navy SEAL training is universally regarded by military experts as the toughest in the world.
Over 80% of those who attempt to become a Navy SEAL fail to complete the training.
I expect a similar failure rate for this series of caches.

U.S. Navy SEALs operate in any type of terrain or weather. They use underwater SCUBA gear, parachute from planes, and climb or repel down from cliffs.

As a former Navy Corpsman, I have the utmost respect for them.

Navy SEALs are the fiercest and most highly skilled fighting force in the world. You'll need some of that skill and determination to retrieve this cache!

After you retrieve the cache and sign the log, turn around and salute the flag on top of the hill.

Warning! Retrieve this cache at your own risk!
